Whereas for the same price, I could have dressed my main and both my alts, provided there was the appropiate stuff (some Sisi items still haven't been released).

So, to keep this short, no, I have not bought from the NEx, not because I can't, but because I find the prices outrageously high compared to the reward they provide. Their cost>fun factor is crap because there's too much cost for the fun. Maybe that may change if CCP, miraculously, manages to deliver Incarna without lighting issues; but I am very skeptycal since our crappy CQ was called "final" and so far they just did something - what?- to the screens and menus rather than fix the lighting.

And anyway adding more "fun" -in the unlikely event they don't spoil it with lighting issues- still will keep the stuff horribly overpriced for something we already have paid for.

The NEx would be fun if we could as much as play fashion victims without opening wide our c.c. or sacrifice spaceships fun for it. With the curent prices, NEx stuff can be split into two tiers:

- ludicrously overpriced for the people who cares- perfectly priced for the people who doesn't gives a damn of it

…and even then, they fail at even basic MT pricing strategy, and I see no reason to encourage such failure.

I would buy something if it that does not look like the military threw it away because it was too bland. Prices need to drop as well - my pain threshhold is around 100M I guess, although something very good looking might tempt me to spend more. It's not an issue of having the money, I simply don't feel like spending too much.

I agree to a point. They do need some modelling work, for sure. And we need a ton more diversity than what's up right now. But I do rather like the designs that are out now, I just think it's hard to appreciate them when it all looks so same-y.

The ability in which you manage to repeatedly troll yourself fascinates me.
